Sour Milk Sea from the Esther demos! Too bad George gave that to Jackie Lomax, would have made a fine addition to the White album
Not super keen on the song, but I love the title.

If I Fell came on earlier and to be fair, it is absolutely beautiful. The vocals work perfectly with each other. May just be me though but do you lot think it ends on the wrong chord? Like I said, might just be my ears but doesn't sound the right chord to finish on.
Sounds fine to me but I've been living with the song for years.
Only just realised I meant And I Love Her. It came on earlier and though it's a solid track, I just don't like the chord it ends on. Doesn't call for a major chord to my ears.
That makes more sense. They were going for the unexpected a lot of the time, challenging convention.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Interesting to hear how early Lennon was messing with A/B, 12-bar formula.

The Beatles were always about the tunes for me.

My ears are for listening not reading. Those lyrics are twee crap. The tune is excellent.

The Beatles lyrics certainly don't read well on paper. It was always about those great melodies, harmonies and chord shapes. The words are just there as a vehicle for those really.
